Celebrating 16 years of City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley

More than 400 citizen supporters, business and community leaders, City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley corps members and Special Guest Mike Singletary, Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers, gathered together for City Year’s annual benefit gala, Starry Starry Night, held on May 15, 2010 at The Fairmont San Jose. Together, the Silicon Valley community celebrated the power of young people to change the world and helped inspire others to do the same during a festive night to benefit City Year.

Starry Starry Night has fast become one of Silicon Valley's premier events, featuring exceptional cuisine, a stirring program and festive dancing. Celebrating 16 years, Starry Starry Night is the heart of City Year’s annual fundraising efforts, with the goal of raising $200,000 to support City Year and its corps members.

 This year we honored Denise & John York, San Francisco 49ers and the 49ers Foundation. 

City Year is inspired by the York family’s commitment and leadership in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through the family’s combined leadership, the San Francisco 49ers Foundation has contributed $10 million over the last 8 years to non-profits throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
